The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve.

Hangin' Around (Big Brovaz Song)
"Hangin' Around" is a single released in 2006 by the UK hip hop/ R&B group Big Brovaz. It was the second single from their second album, ''Re-Entry'' the first with independent label RAF/Genetic Records and their first as a four-piece. The single became Big Brovaz' lowest charting UK single to date, missing the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart completely, peaking at number fifty-seven and dropping out the following week. This is probably due to lack of airplay and video airplay as the video was ignored by channels such as The Box who had supported their previous work. Radio stations such as BBC Radio 1 also failed to playlist the track and in not doing so, it failed to make the top fifty in the UK radio airplay chart. Due to the underperformance of both " Yours Fatally" and even more so "Hangin' Around", the ''Re-Entry'' album was pushed back further to 2007 (it was originally scheduled to be released after "Hangin' Around"). The CD single for "Hangin' Around" also featured the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
